The New York Times
In northwestern Pakistan in Islambad, at lead six people were killed by two bombs that according to officials, were targeted at security officers. According to an official that was involved with the bomb disposal, the bomb was extremely complex and well constructed; by someone with an experience. The first of two attacks was when a teenage suicide bomber attacked a police vehicle on the outskirts of the city. The second, just hours after the first attack was when " police official was killed and three others were wounded when a homemade bomb aimed at another police vehicle detonated." Fingers have been pointing at Taliban terrorists, but no official decision has been made with proof.

Soda Pot
The New York Times
As marijuana was just legalized in California, businesses have begun to use this legalization to their advantage. For $10 to $15 per bottle, "Canna Cola" is now making a soda with 35 to 65 milligrams of pot in each 12 oz bottle. The mastermind behind this addicting beverage said that "There are a wide range of products available in this category, sometimes, you'll buy a cookie with just a laser-printed label that says 'Cookie' with no other information -- you don't know who made it! You won't find that with spaghetti sauce or pharmaceuticals. I thought about creating national branding for something that is fragmented and local." Don't get too excited, this soda will only be sold in states that legalized the drug.

Peanut Butter Weed Time?
The Bergen Record
At Northern Valley High School in Demarest, New Jersey on Monday, January 24th, a suspicious package was delivered. Just as midterm exams were being passed around, all students were called to the opposite side of the school from where the package was being opened. A teacher said that there was nothing wrong with the package until she opened it and noticed a peculiar odor. Within moments, the students had been evacuated to a safe area, parents were notified of the scenario, and x-rays of the package were being examined. Turned out, it was a rebound package sent back to the school which was the address on the return label and in a peanut butter jar was weed. The police got rid of the substances and students went back to a delayed midterm examination schedule.
